New week, new Steam Sale! But which titles are really worthwhile is sometimes not obvious at first glance. That’s why we’re picking out a few current highlights for you every week. Also this time there are many games cheaper than ever before.
This week it’s time not to take things into your own hands for once, but to let others do it. Many managers have been reduced. Manage your own troops and go into battle. And if competition is still your favorite form of battle, you can also create your own Formula 1 team. Or you just start a cult, why not?
Highlight of the week: Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown

Ace Combat 7 – Test Video: Even the sky has limits
- Genre & Release: Simulation | January 31, 2019
- Discount & Price: 84 percent reduced | 10 instead of 60 dollars
- Offer valid until: March 6, 2023
- Here’s the offer
In the flight simulation Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown you become a pilot of a fighter jet. When it was released in 2019, the game captivated with brilliant weather effects and action-packed gameplay, but both are still impressive today. Although in Ace Combat you just fly a series of missions and fight enemy jets, the developers managed to make their gameplay quite varied.
In the campaign, you fight as a pilot against a fictional nation that is invading its neighboring countries with a fleet of remote-controlled fighter planes. Between fights, cutscenes and radio messages tell of the world and the fates of other characters. However, you have to rely on your knowledge of English for the story, as there is no Europe language version. You will only understand some allusions if you have already played the predecessors.
But if that doesn’t put you off, you can look forward to varied single-player missions, smooth gameplay, breathtaking weather effects, good graphics and an impressive soundtrack.
